The Friends of the PHNRC Annual Native Plant Sale

May 2nd & 3rd 2026 9:00am - 4:00pm

9 East Marion Avenue

The not-for-profit Friends of the PHNRC is pleased to announce the first ever Native Plant Sale

fund-raiser to benefit the missions of the Natural Resources Commission and the Friends of the PHNRC!

 

Unlike most plant sales, all of our native plants are a product of the PHNRC's greenhouse program which means most of the seeds were collected locally from our restoration sites by volunteers, all were propagated, transplanted and grown on site to the lovely specimens you will see. Talk about local! The event will also offer gardeners organic, heirloom vegetables and a few non-native garden plants.

 

Here is our list of what we are offering. Clicking on the item will take you to detailed information on the species.
